"KDE is delighted to announce its latest set of releases, providing major updates to the KDE Plasma Workspaces, KDE Applications, and the KDE Platform that provides the foundation for KDE software. Version 4.7 of these releases provide many new features and improved stability and performance."

Maybe one does not want to open up his/her server(s) with SMB or NFS, yet still wants to manage it with ssh?

That is why the command line exists. If I want to move files there are ftp programs that do the trick. Ssh has really rotten performance when treating it as mounted filesystem.

So one needs to learn a new shell before he/she uses Mac? Why don't Apple fix up those idiotic things in Mac for us?

zsh is hardly new, and pretty much anything that works with bash works with zsh. Everybody who uses the shell a lot should use zsh.

zsh FTW!

Sure I see your point. It is just that some of us do not experience the same distraction from KDE as you did, but instead feel bondage because of idiotic choices made by Apple, and have no hope to fix it but to pray that somehow apple will have mercy on us.

Yeah, it is curious. GNOME irritates the hell out of me, but OSX doesn't. Maybe it is because I feel that foss shouldn't be reductive, whereas I can understand the reasons for OSX being the way it is.
